listening jarred







jar's travel far

(everything comes from somewhere)
















the wind can no longer be heard through the trees

(silence fills the branches)




seeing leaves is as much hearing leaves


stop. watch

(searing thieves)



mind's eye
mind's I
I see
I mind

they capture

(seize)

all that sounds


to

produce sound

(under wraps)

control sound

(containment of synapses)

preserve sound
(digitize)

assign a role
(label, name)

protect
(from the same)

project
(illuminate)




stuck behind panes

(reclusive)


obtain



am I obtuse?




















THE ARCHÆOPTERYX

A good restoration of the oldest known bird,

Archæopteryx (Jurassic Era).

It was about the size of a crow;

it had teeth on both jaws;

it had claws on the thumb and two fingers;

and it had a long lizard-like tail.

But it had feathers,

proving itself a true bird.
